Getting Started With Your PowerDash™ Carpet Cleaner How to Clean Carpets with your PowerDash™: 1 Plug power cord into electrical outlet. 2 Step on the Handle Release Pedal to recline the unit for cleaning position. 4 Squeeze trigger for a slow forward and backward wet stroke*. 5 Release trigger for a slow forward and backward dry stroke*. CAUTION: Do not clean over floor electrical outlets. Water will drip from the brushes and underside of the product after use and may puddle. To avoid damage to wood and laminate flooring and to avoid potential slip hazard, after use (a) do not leave the product on wood and laminate surfaces and move to a hard surface and (b) place unit on an absorbent material (such as a towel) to soak up drips. 3 Step on ON/OFF Pedal to turn ON. For Best Performance • For full suction, it is important that the Dirty Water Tank is properly secured before cleaning. • Continue using dry strokes until little water is visible passing through the nozzle. • Hoover recommends rinsing carpet with water only. This removes residual carpet cleaning solution. Fill Solution Tank with water and repeat. For heavily soiled areas, repeat. Avoid saturating carpet. NOTE: Empty Dirty Water Tank when the motor sound becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in suction (see "Automatic shut-off"). You will also see the float rise and shut off suction at the same time. *follow these steps for best results 9
